What you get
Critic and user scores
Both the Metascore from professional critics and the user score from players, side by side on the game page.
One tap to the reviews
Tap the critic score to open the game’s critic reviews on Metacritic, or the user score for player reviews. A “Leave a review” link takes you straight to writing your own.
Scores that help you choose
Play Next results show each game’s Metascore, and Steam backlog suggestions are ranked partly by Metascore, so the best games you already own rise to the top.
When Metacritic has no score
For games Metacritic hasn’t reviewed, GameShelf falls back to the IGDB rating and links to IGDB instead.
Plus video reviews
Watch YouTube video reviews of the game without leaving the page.
Next to HowLongToBeat times
The scores sit alongside HowLongToBeat completion times, so you can weigh how good a game is against how long it takes.
